The ATCA-2210 is an industry first 10 Gigabit (10GE) capable AdvancedTCA switch and control module. It is ideal for next generation network elements in 3G-wireless and wire-line infrastructure. It meets or exceeds the switching requirements for applications like Radio Network Controllers (RNC/BSC), Media Gateways, IMS (CSCF, Application and Media servers) and IPTV.
The ATCA-2210 is architected to be the heart of a cost-effective ATCA platform, providing highly integrated, centralized common equipment functions – switching, shelf management, network timing and system management functionalities. It incorporates innovative and modular design to provide a highly configurable solution. For example, the designer can configure the switch to suit the requirements for the architecture by choosing optional capabilities like network timing and system management as needed.
The NEBS compliant carrier grade ATCA-2210 includes comprehensive switching and blade management software.
The ATCA-2210 module is a PICMG 3.0/3.1 (Option 9) compliant switch providing 10GE node-to-node connectivity. With 10GE becoming wide spread in enterprise networks, it has become the cost effective high bandwidth switching technology for next generation architectures in carrier grade solutions. Integrated silicon support for priority queues, packet classification and flow control enable implementing stringent timing (TDM) sensitive applications like Media Gateways using this fabric technology.
The ATCA-2210 incorporates a 20-port 10GE switch using 14 ports for node connectivity (19” or 23” rack sizes), 4 ports for up/cross links and the remaining 2 ports for internal use. The four 10GE uplinks enable designers to implement full non-blocking multi-shelf system solutions for up to 4 shelves. The switch silicon is capable of supporting both 1GE and 10GE through auto negotiate function and hence the node slots can automatically connect to the switch in either of these two modes. This enables use of legacy line cards with 1GE node connectivity. The switch supports both front and rear I/O for its fabric up/cross links. It has four 10GE interfaces (XFP connectors) in the front and three 10GE electrical (CX-4) or four 1GE optical interfaces (SFP connectors) in ?the rear.
The ATCA-2210 incorporates a 24-port 1GE Ethernet switch, which provides PICMG 3.0 compliant Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. The base interface uses 14 ports for node connectivity (supports 19” and 23” racks), 6 ports for up/cross links, 1 port for redundant switch slot, 1 port for shelf manager, 1 port for onboard COM Express site and 1 port for local management processor. Like the fabric interface, the switch supports both front and rear I/O for the base interface. There are one 10GE (XFP), four 1GE (SFP) in the front and four 1GE (SFP) in the rear. As a build option, the front 4 ports can be diverted to the rear for rear I/O.
The ATCA-2210 module design incorporates a powerful PowerQUICC processor for its local management functions. This processor is used for managing the switching silicon and is also the host for the switching and blade management software. The ATCA-2210 comes complete with L2/L3 software for powerful networking capabilities for the base and fabric interfaces. It takes full advantage of all the silicon supported functions such as priority queues, VLAN tagging, per port flow control, multi-cast groups, link aggregation, forwarding table entries, etc. Blade management software included with the ATCA-2210 provides Application Programming Interfaces (API) to set-up and control these functions.
The switching software includes support for Layer 2 (IEEE 802.3), spanning tree protocol (STP-IEEE 802.1D), Rapid STP (RSTP-IEEE 802.1W), Multiple STP (MSTP-IEEE 802.1S), VLAN support (IEEE 802.1Q), GARP and GMRP (IEEE 802.1D) and GVRP (IEEE 802.1Q), flow control in accordance with 802.3 clauses 31 and 33, and switch statistics. Other functions include switch fabric watchdog, MAC address assignment, Jumbo frame support and multicast/broadcast.
Limited Layer 3 software is also supported in the fabric interface. This support includes switching of frames with arbitrary upper-layer protocols, wire-speed layer 3 packet routing based on flexible packet classification, IPv4/IPv6 and IP Multicast, forwarding up to 8K layer 3 routing table entries, DiffServ processing, including flexible Microflow classification and filtering, metering, and priority/congestion management, etc.
The ATCA-2210 supports a choice of interfaces for system manager – CLI, SNMP and RMCP along with being SA Forum HPI1.1 compliant.
The ATCA-2210 is architected to enable performance solutions and yet be cost effective. It incorporates many of the functions that would otherwise take up revenue producing node slots in a platform. Examples of these functions include system management (used for OAMP/FCAPS), network timing for synchronization and clocking and shelf management.
The ATCA-2210 includes an onboard COM Express site with support for a SAS/SATA 2.5” disk. COM Express is a PICMG standard enabling a modular processor and memory module without front panel requirement. Typically, the I/O for the COM Express module is included in the baseboard. The PICMG compliant COM Express site in ATCA-2210 enables a Pentium™ or PowerPC™ compute module to run a system manager application in the same slot as the switch slot. Such integration saves valuable revenue producing slots for the platform configuration. For logging and other data storage purposes, the COM Express site also supports 24x7 capable SAS/SATA drives. The COM Express module is independent of the switch’s local management processor and can be redundant with the COM Express module in the standby switch. The two COM Express sites in the switch slots are interconnected through the backplane for redundancy support.
The ATCA-2210 includes integrated support for synchronization and clocking as specified in the AdvancedTCA standard. It is capable of providing Stratum 3 timing for the shelf based on external BITS/SSU or clock input (8 KHz or 19 MHz), recovered clocks from a line cards or a local stabile clock. The I/O for BITS/SSU/clocks is included in the Rear Transition Module. The NTS is capable of supporting multi-shelf architectures. The NTS is compliant with GR-499-CORE, GR-1244-CORE, GR-253-CORE, G.703, G.783, G.803, G.812, and G.813 standards specifications.
The ATCA-2210 contains integrated ATCA shelf management, providing a cost-effective way to control the shelf hardware, per PICMG 3.0, without requiring additional modules. The shelf manager implements IPMI management, FRU management, shelf environment management for power, thermal, and e-keying functions according to SAForum HPI 1.1 compliant interfaces. However, this shelf management function of the module may be disabled to support use of the ATCA-2210 switch with a different shelf manager.
The powerful architecture of the shelf manager is capable of supporting multiple shelves and makes it ideal for building multi-shelf systems in a rack with a unified shelf management.
Overall, the ATCA-2210 is a state-of-the-art switch and control module capable of providing significant performance improvement over the current generation. Its high performance (10GE switching), high integration (saving costly node slots) and innovative architecture (configure per need) makes it unique and ideal for RNC/BSC, Media Gateways, IMS and IPTV network elements.
